As a young team experiencing their first real foray into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it's only natural that the Calgary Flames are having a hard time putting away the Vancouver Canucks for good.

The Flames will get another chance to eliminate their division rivals on Saturday, when the two clubs square off in Game 6 of their first round series in Calgary. If the Flames win, it will be the first time the franchise advances past the first round since 2004.
Home ice has been special for the Flames over the last two months. Calgary has gone 6-1-2 over its last nine games at home, no doubt spurred on by a home crowd eager to have playoff hockey back in town.
The key for Vancouver will be limiting their opponent’s offense on the road. Calgary has outscored the Canucks 7-3 at home in the series en route to wins in Games 3 and 4. A win for the Canucks would mean the series would finish up back home in Vancouver.
